Pros: Great use of innocent humor; plenty of fun action; never tries to be dramatic.
Cons: It is quite corny by definition; some might find the whole premise hard to swallow.
Summary: Now this is a first! Hollywood was able to make a movie based on a popular children's trend and not turn it into complete stupidity. In fact, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is really quite original as it combines some of the gritty elements from the ...

Pros: The fight scenes and excellent climax.
